DECISION;

No decision required – the report is for information only.

Reasons for the decision

The Council’s constitution requires that Corporate Director’s Actions in respect of contracts over £100,000 must be reported to Cabinet for noting. The regular reporting of Corporate Director’s Actions should assist in ensuring that Members are able to scrutinise officer decisions.

No decision required – the report is for information only.

Alternative Options

The Council is bound by its constitution to report to Cabinet financial decisions taken under Corporate Director’s Actions. If the Council were to deviate from those requirements, there would need to be a good reason for doing so. It is not considered that there is any such reason, having regard to the need to ensure that Members are kept informed about decisions made under the delegated authority threshold and to ensure that these decisions are in accordance with Financial Regulations.
